Phenotypic Correlation Among Characteristics of Peach Palm Seeds (Bactris gasipaes Kunth.)
Keywords:
Handling, GerminationAbstract
This work estimated the amount of phenotypic correlation between weight,diameter and length of peach palm seeds at the progenies level aiming to classify the seeds according to these characteristics. Experiment was installed in a randomized blocks design with eight replications, three progenies (numbers 31, 65 and 80); 25 seeds per plot, totaling 600 seeds. Weight, diameter and length of seeds were measured. A highly significant variance among progenies was showed through ANOVA. A higher correlation between weight and diameter (0.86) and, secondarily, between weight and length (0.66) and diameter x length (0.46) was found, which permits classify peach palm seeds by weight or diameter.
